“Win Bathroom Tissue for a Year” Contest
OFFICIAL RULES
- Contest: ROYALE® “Win Bathroom Tissue for a Year” Contest.
- Sponsor: Irving Consumer Products Limited.
- Contest Period: Contest Period begins on July 1, 2026, at 12:00 A.M. Eastern Time (ET) and ends on September 22, 2026, at 11:59 P.M. ET. During the Contest Period, a “Week” starts each Wednesday during the Contest Period at 12:00 A.M. ET and ends on the immediately following Tuesday during the Contest Period at 11:59 P.M. ET. The sole determinant of time for the purposes of this Contest, including receipt of a valid entry, will be the Contest computer servers (“Contest computers”). Proof of transmission (screenshots or captures, etc.) or attempted transmission does not constitute proof of delivery or receipt by the Contest computers or Sponsor.
- Eligibility: You must be (a) a legal resident of Canada and be located in Canada throughout the Contest Period and thereafter for winner confirmation, and (b) have reached the age of majority in your province or territory of residence at the time of entry. You are not eligible to enter if you are an employee, officer, director, agent or representative of Sponsor, its affiliated and related companies (including, without limitation, its parent, sister and subsidiary companies), the independent contest organization, advertising and promotional agencies, or other party in any way involved in the development or administration of this Contest, including suppliers of materials or services related to the Contest, or a member of the immediate family or household of any such employee, officer, director, agent or representative. In these Official Rules, “immediate family” means mother, father, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, and/or legal or common-law spouse, regardless of where they reside. Groups, clubs, organizations, businesses, and commercial and non-commercial entities cannot participate.
-
How to Enter: No purchase necessary to enter the Contest. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Participation in the Contest is separate from participation in the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer; participating in the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer is not a requirement to participate in the Contest. When completing the entry form described below, entrants must select the applicable option(s) to indicate whether the participant wishes to receive a Contest entry, participate in the Offer, or both.
There are two (2) methods of entering the Contest:
- Contest Entry Only (No Purchase Required): Visit royalepromo.ca (the “Contest Website”), complete the online entry form, select the checkbox indicating entry into the Contest only, confirm that you have read and agree to be bound by these Official Rules, and submit the form to receive one (1) Contest entry.
- Contest Entry and ROYALE® Gift Card Offer: Visit the Contest Website, complete the online entry form, select both checkboxes indicating participation in the Contest and the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer, confirm that you have read and agree to be bound by these Official Rules, and upload an eligible purchase receipt for the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer as instructed. Upon completion of the form, the participant will receive one (1) Contest entry. Upon successful receipt validation, the participant will also receive one (1) $10 Gift Card (as described in the terms of the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer). Limit of one (1) $10 Gift Card per household per calendar month during the Offer Period. Only one (1) email address may be used to participate in the Offer.
For clarity, participation in the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer alone does not constitute entry into the Contest. To ensure that you are entered into the Contest, you must select the Contest checkbox in the entry form. If you only select the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer checkbox, you will not receive a Contest entry.
Limits on Entries: One (1) entry per person per Week regardless of the method of entry. You may use only one (1) e-mail address to enter.
- Random Draw and Odds: A random draw will be conducted each Wednesday at or about 1:00 p.m. ET in Toronto, Ontario during the Contest Period beginning on July 8, 2026, with the final weekly draw taking place on September 23, 2026, by an independent contest administrator from among all eligible entries received during the preceding Weekly Draw Period as set out in the table below. The odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the corresponding Weekly Draw Period.
If no eligible entries are received during a Weekly Draw Period (a “No Entry Week”), then during the next Weekly Draw Period, the contest agency will conduct two (2) separate random draws for Weekly Prizes, provided that at least two (2) eligible entries are received during that subsequent Weekly Draw Period.
For greater certainty:
- Entries are only eligible for the Weekly Draw Period in which they are received; and
- Entries do not carry over to any subsequent Weekly Draw Periods.

- Winner Confirmation: The selected entrants will be notified by e-mail within five (5) business days of the draw. Sponsor will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact the selected entrant, including but not limited to if the e-mail is returned as undeliverable or the selected entrant cannot be reached by e-mail within five (5) business days of the date the e-mail notification was sent. To be confirmed a winner, the selected entrant must (i) reply to the e-mail notification within five (5) business days of the date the e-mail notification was sent; (ii) correctly answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by e-mail; (iii) if required by Sponsor, provide proof of identity and/or eligibility (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor – including, without limitation, government issued photo identification); and (iv) be in full compliance with these Official Rules.

If the selected entrant cannot be confirmed as a winner as above, then Sponsor will disqualify the entrant and confirm an alternate entrant. The process will repeat until such time as one (1) selected entrant is confirmed as a winner or there are no more eligible entries, whichever comes first. In such a case, or in the event that the prize cannot be awarded, neither the selected entrant nor any other person shall have any claim against Sponsor arising out of or connected to the disqualification or any other matter related to the Contest. The prize will be sent by mail or courier within four (4) to six (6) weeks of winner confirmation. Shipped prize shall not be insured, and Sponsor shall not assume any liability for lost, damaged, or misdirected prize. If the prize or any component is returned as undeliverable for any reason whatsoever, the winner will forfeit his/her prize and the prize will not be re-awarded nor re-delivered at a later date.

During the Offer Period, consumers who purchase a minimum of $25 CAD (before taxes) of participating Royale® paper products from a participating Canadian retailer banner may receive a $10 CAD gift card, redeemable at the same retailer banner where the qualifying purchase was made (the “Reward”), while supplies last.

- Visit royalepromo.ca and complete the online submission form as instructed, including uploading a clear image of the original sales receipt and selecting the checkbox confirming that you wish to participate in the ROYALE® Gift Card Offer;
- Ensure the receipt clearly identifies the retail banner, date of purchase, and participating products; and
- Confirm the retail banner at which the qualifying purchase was made by selecting from a list of eligible retailers as part of the receipt review and validation process.
